OUTSPOKEN broadcast journalist Adrian Durham has slammed Crystal Palace fans for their banner against Manchester City on Sunday.

In his latest Daily Mail column, Durham has questioned fans up and down the country for a number of banners shown during the last round of matches in the Premier League.

Those include ones by Newcastle United and West Ham fans towards managers Alan Pardew and Sam Allardyce.

But the large design created by the Holmesdale Fanatics at the weekend, displaying the words 'You Got The Money, We Got The Soul' towards City has been lambasted by Durham.

It's not the first time either the Peterborough United fan has upset the Selhurst Park natives, claiming that Palace were awarded too many penalties last season.

He wrote: "That embarrassing effort at Selhurst Park.

"Palace fans spent time and energy making a banner aimed at their Manchester City opponents on Sunday which declared: ‘You Got The Money, We Got The Soul.’

"I laughed out loud at this nonsense, thought up by someone who has no idea about - and didn’t bother to research - the amount of incredible work in the community Manchester City Football Club’s owners have done, and what a fantastic facility they are creating for locals to use in and around the Etihad Stadium.

"The logic that says a club with money can’t possibly have a soul is flawed everywhere you look – are you telling me Real Madrid have no soul?

"The Man City fans who were on the away terrace at York’s Bootham Crescent ground in December 1998 and saw their team lose 2-1 probably still go to the Etihad today.

"They know about the soul of a football club. And everything is relative of course.

"So when Palace offered to shovel a shedload more money than any other club into Bosman striker Glenn Murray’s bank account to secure his services back in 2011, was that the Eagles losing their soul?

"It seems with songs and banners some fans have lost their way in the Premier League this season."

Adrian durham is just a twisted reporter and someone who likes the sound of his own voice he has never liked palace and never had a good word for them I would suggest that in future we ban him from selhurst and then we wont have to put up with his meaningless rants

I cant stand him but as a City fan i am fed up with the money bags tag and people choosing to not bother looking at what the owners havedone for the community, jobs you name it just go and have a look at what has happened and is happening, oh no of course you wont because thats good publicity for the money bags club that just spend money of players oh ans as for no soul do your homework i really dont need to argue or prove Cities soul!

Durham is bitter and twisted from a personal sentiment...Didn't we put down Peterborough when we were in the Championship and bought Gayle off them? Hansen, Claridge & Durham all hate Palace for personal reasons in their roles as footballers and broadcasters. Durham, aong with Collymore also love to hear the sound of their own voices.
